Sara Gilbert and Alison Adler were together for a decade before breaking up over the summer -- and if Gilbert's tears Friday on "The Talk" were any indication, she still needs some time until she's over it.

Gilbert choked up during a panel discussion about marriage, after mentioning that she hadn't been married, and now was no longer with the person she'd been in love with.

"I wouldn't trade that time, you know, I think that's such a special time in my life," she said, voice cracking. "But then you see people in their 70s and you go like, how do people do it? How do they make it last?"

Kris Jenner -- who had already cried happy tears herself talkiing about her 13-year marriage to the late Robert Kardashian, and her now 20-year marraige to Bruce Jenner -- tried to comfort her cohost by reminding Gilbert she still had the memories of all her experiences with Adler.

"We have beautiful children together," Gilbert acknowledged, "a lot of love for each other, and you do continue into the next chapter together in a different way."

Breaks your heart.
